Thanks again for your help.

Yeah, I know that now there is an oprofile package: I think that backporting it could be a solution.

Regards,
Daniele

Ohh, that makes it harder to support you, but I'll try anyway.

I've never used either oprofile or gprof on uclibc, so I wouldn't
know.

You are aware that we have an oprofile package in buildroot these
days? It got added almost a year ago:

Author: Ninevoltz <ninevoltz at uclibc.org>
Date:   Thu Apr 24 16:54:29 2008 +0000

    add oprofile

    git-svn-id: svn+ssh://uclibc.org/svn/trunk/buildroot@21847

You could try backporting that to your version.
